This intimate holiday fireside wedding at Timberline Lodge was the coziest event of the year! However, before the coziness ensued, we braved the elements for some photos in the winter-wonderland landscape of Mt. Hood. Lucky for me, Valerie and Damen were excited to get outside for photos in the snow, and we tromped around the lodge taking advantage of the contrasting textures and soft light. It was such an honor to be a part of this intimate gathering of friends and family and document the start of this couple’s married life together.

Spring delivered a fresh blanket of snow for this session with Lauren & Andrew at Mt. Bachelor. Which is awesome, because that is the one request they had for this shoot (thank-you Mother Nature)! We also explored Bend’s Shevlin Park underneath the towering pines and enjoyed an awesome afternoon in the beauty of Central Oregon.

Being avid snowboarders from sunny San Diego, Danielle & Marty loved the thought of getting married on a snowy mountain. Silcox Hut on Mt. Hood perfectly matched the bill. Their mountainside ceremony was an intimate affair with friends and family who had gathered there to spend the weekend playing on the mountain & celebrating with them. Danielle was dazzling in her gold (!) dress (Marty didn’t look too shabby either). It’s really refreshing to see a bride veer from the norm for a unique look–well done!

Kim & Dan’s Mt. Hood wedding is featured on Style Me Pretty today. Check out the post on their site to find out more about this fun couple and how they incorporated their love of the outdoors into their wedding!

This was our final wedding of the winter at the Silcox Hut. Unbelievably, most of our shoots up at Silcox this year have had sun–a rarity on Mt. Hood in the winter! The weather was so nice on this day in March, we spent a lot of time outside with the couple & were even able to do family group shots outside with some lighting setup. Go Oregon!

It’s full-on Spring here in Portland, but there is still plenty of snow up in the mountains and we have a few more white winter weddings to blog! In February, we had the honor of photographing Kim & Dan’s wedding at the Silcox Hut above Mt. Hood’s Timberline Lodge. The joy of this ebulliently fun couple is so contagious, we couldn’t help but smile the entire day. The little details also really shined through from the fondant mushrooms & truffles on the cake to the acorn and squirrel logo accompanied by the saying, “even a blind squirrel finds an acorn sometimes.” (Although, they never did explain which of them is the blind squirrel & which is the acorn…) Truer words have never been spoken, and we are so glad that Kim & Dan found each other and chose us to document this day!

Talia & Pro were blessed with some of the most beautiful January weather in recent memory for their wedding day. Weather won’t make or break your wedding day, but such gorgeous weather is especially appreciated when your wedding takes place at 7,000 ft. on the side of Mt. Hood in the middle of winter! With mild temperatures & windless blue skies we were able to spend a lot of time outside on the snowy slopes. Once the sun set, everyone gathered in the Silcox Hut to celebrate this beautiful couple!
